    Why Following God Feels Hard: The Truth About Obedience and God's Direction

    Have you ever prayed for God to show you what to do next, only to hesitate when He answered? You're not alone. Many Christian women over 50 sincerely desire to follow God's will yet struggle to take the next step when obedience feels uncertain, uncomfortable, or even frightening. In this episode, we'll explore why following God can feel difficult, how fear and delayed obedience can keep us spiritually stuck, and why Jesus invites us to exchange our heavy burdens for His peace. We'll compare Matthew 7:14 and Matthew 11:28–30 to discover how the narrow road of obedience and the easy yoke of Christ work together. You'll learn that God's direction isn't meant to burden you—it is meant to lead you into greater freedom, purpose, and peace. If you've been asking God for clarity about your next season but feel afraid to move forward, this episode will encourage you to trust His voice and take your next faithful step. Why the narrow road leads to life and lasting peace.The difference between obedience and trying to earn God's approval.How fear, doubt, and delay can become subtle forms of resistance.Why Jesus' yoke is easy even when obedience feels difficult.Practical ways to move from spiritual hesitation to faithful action.How trusting God's direction brings peace in every season of life.Key Scriptures: Matthew 7:14Matthew 11:28–30Proverbs 3:5–6John 14:15Luke 9:23James 1:22Philippians 2:13Isaiah 48:17–18Reflection Questions: Has God already shown me my next step?What fear is keeping me from obeying?Am I waiting for another sign when God has already spoken?What burden am I carrying that Jesus is asking me to surrender?What one act of obedience can I take this week?Spend time in prayer and ask God: "Lord, have You already shown me what You want me to do?" If He brings something to mind, take one practical step of obedience this week. Don't wait until you feel completely ready. Trust that God often reveals the next step after we faithfully take the one already in front of us.

    Pick Up the Towel Serving Others While You're Still Healing from Grief-John 13 for Christian Women Over 50

    Have you been telling yourself: Once I get through this grief. Once I figure out my finances. Once I know who I am again — then I'll be ready to help someone else?In this episode we go to one of the most powerful and unexpected passages in all of scripture for women in transition: John 13:1–5. The night before the crucifixion. The night Judas was about to betray Him and Peter was about to deny Him. The worst night of Jesus' life. And what did He do? He got up, took off His outer garment, wrapped a towel around His waist, and washed His disciples' feet. All of them. Including Judas.This episode is a direct confrontation of the lie that says you have nothing to give right now. It is also one of the most freeing truths in scripture: You don't have to be whole to serve. You have to know whose you are.We walk through three movements in the passage — the moment Jesus knew who He was, the moment He laid aside His outer garment, and the moment He washed every pair of feet in that room. And we apply each one directly to the woman who is grieving, waiting, confused, or lonely — and wondering if God can still use her.This episode is for you if:• You want to help other women but feel like you're too broken to give right now • You've been using your pain as a reason to stay on the sidelines • You've lost your identity and wonder if your best days of purpose are behind you • You carry grief, resentment, loneliness, or fear that feels bigger than your calling • You need permission to pick up the towel — today, exactly as you areMy Products: stan.store/thewordwomanpodcastContact information: thewordwomanpodcast@gmail.com

    Why Are You Still Standing There? Moving Forward When God Has Already Spoken

    Have you ever found yourself praying about the same thing over and over, waiting for God to give you another sign, another confirmation, or a clearer direction? In Exodus 14:15, God asked Moses a powerful question: "Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the Israelites to move on." The Israelites were trapped between the Red Sea and Pharaoh's army, but God had already made a way before they could see it. Many of us find ourselves in the same place. We know what God has been asking us to do, but fear, doubt, overthinking, and uncertainty keep us standing still. Instead of moving forward in faith, we remain stuck in cycles of waiting, worrying, and wondering. In this episode, we'll explore what it means to trust God when you can't see the outcome, how to overcome spiritual stagnation, and why obedience often requires taking the first step before the miracle appears. If you've been feeling stuck in this season, this episode will encourage you to stop focusing on what you can't see and start moving forward in faith.In This Episode You'll Learn:Why fear often keeps us from obeying GodWhat Exodus 14 teaches us about faith and actionHow overthinking can lead to spiritual stagnationThe difference between waiting on God and avoiding obedienceWhy God often asks us to move before we see the miraclePractical ways to renew your mind and grow spirituallyKey Scriptures: Exodus 14:13-15 Psalm 46:10Isaiah 30:15Reflection Question: What area of your life is God asking you to move forward in, even though you can't yet see the outcome?
